Found handling very poor especially in the wet, compared to continental premium 6 that the car came with from the factory. They wore down about twice as fast as the contis, so we will be going back to conti tires.

Driving on mostly town for 14000 average miles
Grip in dry and wet was acceptable if nothing special. The reason I wrote this review is to say that the wear has been appalling at 14000 miles before needing replacements on my Audi Q5 TFSI-e. These were fitted as OEM from new but I won't be putting any continentals back on it. I had a similar issue with the OEM continentals on my Audi Q2 which lasted about 13000 miles before needing new ones.

while driving a Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2,0 280 hp
Driving on mostly town for 25 average miles
These tires are OEM on a 2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio TI Sport AWD. I live in the Denver Metro area so snow and some ice are a consideration. I felt the traction was as good as could be expected for an all season tire under most snow conditions for a sports SUV. Dry road feel and handling was excellent. I rated it approximately 8 because a summer tire clearly would be preferable for non winter conditions . Only occasionally were the tires driven very aggressively and about half my mileage was in long distance 75 mile per hour travel. After 25,000 miles the tread depth is about 3/32. Recently in the first deep snow w. about four to six inches and slush on the roadways I found the traction to be not at all what was needed, naturally. I would like to improve on all the performance aspects of the tire but I may not be able to find, based upon the reviews I have read a true improvement for all categories. When there was plenty of tread life still in the tires I went through three winters and never had an objection to the tire traction in snow conditions even when deep. So the odds are good that I will buy this same tire to replace my worn set.

Driving on mostly town for 100 average miles
Like other reviewers mentioned, the tires are disastrous in any wet conditions. Just went through a puddle and then my tires would skid in straight line braking… unbelievable

I am a big fan of Michelin PSS tires but this is just not up to par at all. Took delivery of my XPENG G6 OEM tires for only 10 days and now I have to pay 15k to get a new set of tires

The tires are just unsafe stay away from them

Excellent value for money. Dry they are good, wet they are awful.but they're a summer sports tire for 60 quid for 20 inch so can't expect the world but 100% worth the money

Writing about the Accelera Iota ST68 rated 84%
while driving a Ford Edge Sport
Driving on a combination of roads for 20 spirited miles
We bought a Ford Edge in 2020 and it had a brand new pair of these fitted on the front. I’d never heard of the brand and I was a bit sceptical.
But 3 1/2 years later we have covered 21,000 miles and the edges are just going off, I think they have worn very well on the front of a 2.2 ton car and a good 8k of the miles had been towing a large caravan.
They have performed well in all weathers and the car has been driven quite ‘spiritedly’ at times.
I have just ordered a new set of 4, so if I can get another 3/4 years and 20+ thousand miles out of them I will be very happy.

Bought for good reviews in wet, however replaced from new at mileage of 3400, but only got 1 year and 14000 miles from the Continentals, will not buy again.

Writing about the Triangle SporteX TH201 rated 38%
while driving a Porsche cayenne s
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 average miles
I've had reasonable experiences with budget brands in the past, so I'm not a tire snob by any means. I also bought the car with these tires fitted, so have no confirmation bias after paying my own money for them.

These Triangles were fitted as new on the car when I picked it up. Initial impressions of dry grip were actually quite positive. I didn't push the car to its limits and so I didn't experience any issues. Likewise I found them a bit quieter than some premium brands I'd experienced when test driving other cayennes prior to buying mine.

In the wet however, it's a different story. The first hint that they might not be much good was when I had to drive up a damp and greasy driveway. The 4WD system shuffled the power around trying to find some grip, but this became an almost laughable process the car really struggled to haul itself up the incline over the course of about 20 seconds of wheel-spinning chaos.

Since then, each time I've driven the car in the wet, I've done so on tip toes. The wet grip on these things is non-existent. Even navigating roundabouts, medium sized bends at normal road speeds results in the car understeering. Faster, less curved bends can result in a disconcerting 'float' as the car loses grip on all corners.

Having owned 70+ cars, I can only think of a couple of times I've bought one and thought 'these tires are dangerous' and I think these Triangles are the most extreme example of this. Avoid at all costs.

An amazing long lasting tire that performs well but is too noisy on coarse chip seal

Didn’t even last 35k! Awful. Really sad because the tires performed until they were bald at 35k.
